Bonus December Bibury Antiques Fair!

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello all! Here’s a little news I am very pleased to share with you all. We have a bonus, extra, additional Bibury Antiques Fair on 4th December 2022. Last year we had an extra fair as, like many businesses, we were struggling to open as often in the year as we wanted to,and it was great. So, this year we have also decided to do the same so from 10am until 3pm, we will be open for business. This will be our last fair this year in Bibury and we will (we hope), return on a wonderful sunny warm spring day in April 2023. Should you be nearby and still looking for an individual, unique, special, fun, appealing, fabulous, stunning gift for someone in your life, we may well have just the thing! Many of our items really are amazingly affordable, and quite often seriously much more cost effective than big trade websites. With us, it’s just a matter of seeing something, touching it and knowing it’s just what you need. Delivery of larger items can be sorted too, sometimes at a cost, but it can be done! Here are a few photo’s of recent events and stock from our dealers, but I never know what they will bring, so, just call in and see us! We do have a small entrance charge, just a pound Sterling each. Thanks, Andy.

New time zone and next fair

Hello again. Now we officially return to Greenwhich Mean Time, the autumn and winter will soon be upon us and the colours will and already are changing in the woodland and countryside. Should one be able to visit us in Bibury on November 6th, there will be a good selection of stalls and stock to browse, and also there could be a great walk or drive to see us if the weather is kind. As usual, we open at 10am and close at 4pm. Maybe see you there! Thanks, Andy.

September’s here again!

Wow! Autumn feels as though it really is here now as the dampness rises from the fields in the early evening as a wonderful magical mist. However, this is making the evenings cooler, so if you get a chance, call into Bibury Antiques Fair this coming Sunday, 4th September, we are open from 10am to 4pm. My breakfast this morning was Trout, with bread and butter, and Bibury has the oldest Trout Farm in England, and I can recommend it! So, there’s food to buy in Bibury, as well as antiques this Sunday, and if the weather is good, there’s the option of just sitting on a wall and watching the world go by whilst enjoying a coffee from the cafe Twig, or lunch at The Catherine Wheel, or checking out one of the many venues in the area for a future wedding or party! Lots to do near here, and some of the short walks do go through interesting villages nearby, some have pubs along the way too! Naturally, an item from our fair could be a wonderful gift for yourself or a friend, and could bring many happy memories of the day for years to come, so I hope you find something! We are coming to the end of a Bank Holiday weekend, but “Other weekends are available”! Regards, Andy.

Hello all. Bibury Antiques Fair restarted in April, on the 3rd, and our second event of the year is on Sunday May 1st! Our first event was such a ;lovely welcome back, we had lots of visitors to the village, and friends to the fair. So many travel from different places across the world to view Bibury, a Gloucestershire gem, and some take home a little treat from the fair, giving an extra memory of the day they had there. This month, one of our stallholders cannot be with us, so we have someone else to fill the stall with treasures! Pop in to see what they have! Should you be nearby and have time and the interest to visit, we open at 10am, and close at 4pm. We do have a visitors book, our first signature from last month belonged to people from Utah! Here are a few photographs of our stalls from last month. Best wishes all!

Hello all! Well, tomorrow, on Sunday 3rd April we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall. We open at 10am and close at 4pm. Whilst I am not sure what the weather will be like, I suggest a decent warm coat just in case, the sunshine is lovely, but it’s not as warm as one thinks. In Bibury there’s plenty to see, by just wandering around, the Church, walks around the area, the Trout Farm is the oldest in Britain I think, and there’s The Catherine Wheel pub, as well as the Swan Inn, and not forgetting a more recent venue, The Twig, a small, but well packed coffee shop, who also sell fabulous sausage rolls, as I found out the other day! So if one gets a little time, stroll around the village and come to see us in The Village Hall near to the Church, and maybe an item or two may catch your liking, there’s lots to see, jewellery, glassware, brassware, ceramics, paintings and pictures, King Penguin books, and even some smaller items of furniture, and maybe some antique woodworking tools. Something I know is certainly going to be there is this recently tidied garden bench, just four feet long, or 120cm it’s an attractive simple comfortable garden bench. Here it is, and have a great weekend, thanks, Andy.

Nearly there!
